At Chateau de Mouillac, working either here or online from your own home, we achieve fast and meaningful results and educate you, providing you with tools and the mindset to put you on the path to live the life you want to.

 

Whether you are dealing with pain and/or emotional issues from abuse, in recovery, fear, anxiety, stress, depression, worry, anger, jealousy, grief, physical issues of weight gain, lack of energy, fatigue, insomnia, skin problems, digestive problems, illness, convalescence – the list is endless really – there are processes which can help you.

Are you feeling out of sync? Muddled up? Lost? Struggling to make things work personally and/or professionally?

Is life, or an area of it, not going the way you wanted, hoped, imagined it would? Are you feeling tired, achy, older, lacking vitality and that sparkle you used to have?

Maybe you are wondering what the point is and if this is all there is?

Do you have a problem worrying about things, excessive chitter-chatter in your head, overeating, under sleeping, bitterness, hurt, resentment, guilt or anger towards others…. or yourself?

Do you avoid mirrors or seek them out and criticise yourself? Feel unloved, unlovable, disappointed, lonely, abandoned? Do you have bad self-image or low self-esteem?

Are you anxious, depressed, highly-strung, discontent, burnt out? Do you feel bad things keep happening to you? Do relationships keep going wrong?

Maybe you are waiting for something to happen and hate that it never does, or even sabotage opportunities?

Or maybe you create negative situations, drama for drama’s sake, negative attention rather than no attention.

There are so many things that happen in life we don’t like and feel we have no choice about or no control over.

Using NLP, Strategic Intervention, hypnotherapy and other Emotional Therapy techniques, we dig deep and help you unravel and free you from the issues that limit you and hold you back from reaching your true potential.

If you do not wish to discuss something that has actually happened to you don’t worry. Interventions and processes can be used without context if necessary.

 

We aren’t going to stir up and wallow in the negative, you will be dealing with whatever it is, and not replaying and being re-hurt by it.

We will also help inspire, guide and motivate you to find and live the life you want to and deserve. If you already are living the life you want but wondering why you are not happy, we will help you to sweep back all the dirty layers that are preventing you from enjoying it.

Sessions can take between 1 and 3 hours. If more work needs doing we come back to it after a break.

You will never ever be left in a bad or difficult place.

This work can only make things better.

Due to the COVID 19 situation we are doing more online retreats and fewer residential for obvious reasons. For online retreats in your own home we provide nutritional and self-care advice by email (so this does not take any time out of your retreat, it is in addition and for you to keep and use in your own time) so that you can make changes as and if you want to.

For Residential Retreats, we offer a delicious, mainly raw, gourmet plant food diet.  It is very healing, nourishing and cleansing whilst also satisfying the desire and need to ENJOY your food.

That doesn’t mean going through an awful detoxification process, though you will be cleaning out toxins and reinforcing your immune system from day one.

We adapt the menu depending on how long someone is here and what their requirements are.

A raw food diet is based on raw, fresh, ripe fruit and vegetables, nuts and seeds. The meals we achieve with those, using first-class equipment (high-speed blenders, dehydrators, sous vide water baths, sprouters and masticating juicers) are amazing. Every mouthful nourishes the mind and body, soothing and energising.

We provide juices, smoothies, meals and snacks throughout the day to really pack those nutrients in. Juices allow speedy absorption with minimal digestion. Green smoothies satisfy both on a nutritional level and alleviate hunger pangs (as well as increasing our stomach acids – all will be explained). Snacks and divine raw gourmet meals are prepared with mostly organic produce and often fresh from our garden, to nourish you on every level including pure indulgence!

There will be cake and chocolate, snacks and savoury deliciousness!

You may experience a few little cleansing niggles on days 2 or 3 and we can help you through them and you will feel oh, so good as result.

During your stay we provide, if required, nutritional and well being consultations/discussions with Desri addressing any problems you have.  All sorts of food or lifestyle related topics can be covered from feeding a family or what to take to work for lunch to avoid afternoon brain fog.

If you want to (I say this as some people just don’t and that’s OK!)  we can include teaching about juicing, sprouting, and creating delicious foods. You can learn how to substitute healthful ingredients and recipes to create better versions of your favourite foods enabling you to continue on your new path. We will cover how to achieve that ever-elusive 5-10 fruit and veg a day, meal planning plus some food preparation.

We all need delicious and nutritious.

Our relationship therapy and couples counselling can help you to overcome a wide variety of problems.

Relating to other people can be fraught with problems.

Not only are we dealing with what is going on inside us and triggers from our past but the other person is too.

Each one of us is built upon our past and the significant people in our lives pasts be they partners, parents, colleagues or friends.

The more we can understand and make peace within ourselves the better able we are to be happy with others.

The more we can understand other people and their stories the more accepting and receptive we can be to a wonderful relationship.

Imagine a couple who have a passionate and exciting beginning. They get together and real-life takes over.

If they can keep their passionate and loving relationship they have a haven to go to if things get tough, boring or distracting.

More often we have examples like these:

A child is born, the mother becomes exhausted and overwhelmed with responsibility. She becomes the sensible, responsible person on red alert for danger.

The father of the child feels a bit pushed out and slightly redundant. He feels the need to be more successful at work working harder and longer hours. He comes home to a wife who is acting a bit like his mother did towards his father.

Spontaneity goes out of the window.

Time goes on and laughs become rare. They are not the same people they were and become self-conscious with each other when intimate.

She is annoyed with him because either she is too tired or ‘it’s just not the same and he doesn’t seem to know how to make me feel good’.

He becomes anxious, afraid to do the wrong thing or be rebuked. She feels responsible for him when he is anxious and resentful that he could let her down this way.

He feels guilty for her unhappiness, tries not to bother her when she is angry.

She feels more alone and swings between being sad and angry.

And so it goes on.

They become further and further apart and do not know why.

And the good news is this can be rectified and the love and passion CAN be reignited.

There are many stumbling blocks we come upon as we navigate our lives.

With the covid situation over the last 12 months people have become very aware of how outside changes can cause havoc with their daily lives.

Anxiety over jobs, money, missing loved ones, being cooped up with loved ones, homeschooling, loneliness and so much more is rife and people are more aware of how others are feeling (one positive to take from it).

Our life coaching services are a combination of all we do and usually spread over a series of weeks or months.

It involves working out and setting a goal for example: feeling less anxious, overcoming burnout, getting through empty nest, accepting redundancy or retirement, living with a teen, improving a relationship, losing weight) and talking, listening and using processes to reach that goal.

We set milestones and sometimes give homework, if this isn’t done we can work on it together.

Life coaching is supportive but it is also results driven, as with everything else we do, to get a client into a place where life is happier, healthier and worth living.
